THE DANCE OF THE E A

Grimly Death sits on a tombstone white,
His bones beating time at dead of night.
At twelve with jingle and rattle there chants
The ghostly spectre to the skeletons dance.
In the barren limbs of the Linden tall,
Ghostly howls and moans the wind. To the
call
Of the owl, in the moonlight bright
Hasten the dead in the dance to delight.
The dancers wildly their partners embrace,
D~readfully rattle their bones in the chase,
When the early cock his first message sends
The dance of the skeletons suddenly ends.

RAILWAY MANAGERS THREATEN

follows from the New York Times:

The Couries-Journnl copies as
follows from the New York Times:
asThe Interstate Commerce law is
likely to prove boomerang to its
authors said a railroad man yester-
day. Ifit was designed by them to
be a ladder by which to ascend the
heights Of political fame, You are
likely to hear something drop. with
the dull and sickening thud attach
ment, too. Already those who most
persistently labored for its enact
ment have applied to have its most
important provisions suspended. 1t
is shown to be of practical benefit
only. to the coast lines and Pacific
steamers, while it is q positive in
jury to nearly all railroads and all
business interests
"By authors of the measure, l
mean Cullom and Reagan, although
Cullum is not really to blame for the
Objectionable features Of the bill.
They were forced upon the measure
by Reagan and his crazy followers
in the House. Cullom had to con-
sent to them in order to get the bill
through the House in any shape;
but he will suffer for it, just the
same, as though he agreed with
them voluntarily. The fact is, the
whole measure is amateurish in the
eyes of a practicable railroad man.
The whole railroad system of Amer
lea, with its 100000 miles of tracks,
and those of England and Germany
and the rest of Europe and the In
dian system, as well, have been prac-
tically developed within the last
fifty years, and men in order to un-
derstand these enormous interests
must have grown up with them.
Now Reagan has been the laughing
stock of the railway world for his
crazy, indefinite notions for the last
six years, and he is the last man
whose notions should have been in
corporated in a national railroad
law"
This character of adroit state
ment, designed to mislead, may an
swer for newspapers, but no politi-
cal aspirant will venture to advocate
the railroad view" on the hustings.
Between Reagan and Jay Could
we prefer Reagan. Railroads may
buy newspapers, but the people will
follow men like Reagan.

THE DAVIS LETTER.
communicated


In order to bolster up Camden,
Davis boosted that Camden's rail-
road enterprise brought $3,000,O0O
into the State. Lucas called atten-
tion to the fact that, during the ten
years preceding Governor Jackson's
last message, the value of property
in West Virginia decreased more
than $10,000,000, and yet during
this very period the Standard Oil
Company had acquired its great
wealth. One of Camdens support
ers tries to break the force of this
fact, and. with this object, calls at
tention to the circumstance that the
$3,000,000, which Davis refers to,
came into this State subsequent to
Jackson's message. This is plausi-
bic, but it is no answer to what
Lucas said. The Auditors report
shows that our property decreased
in value over 100000 during last
year. The decrease in the value of
our property between 1884 and 1886
exceeded $5,600,000. In other words.
according to the showing of Cam
denis own supporters, this decrease
of. 100000 occurred during the
very time Of the pretended influx of
the $3,OOO,OOO.
But it is all nonsense to say that
the building of the Ohio River road
brought three millions into this
State. The money paid for iron and
for the equipment did not come into
this State The only money build
ing a road brings into the State is
what is expended for cross-ties,
making the road-bed and for lard
damages.
Lucas point is good one. The
Camden. Davis syndicate are rapidly
becoming enormously wealthy at the
very time the mass -four people arc
becoming poorer. Our young men
are leaving the State and the demo
cratic party has lost its majority.
Is it not time for a change of lead-
ers?

The business Interest.

1t being evident that the railway
officials are inaugurating well
planned and systematis opposition
to the Inter State Commerce bill, Mr..
W. T. Croasdale contributes to the
last number of the Standard Henry
Georges paper) trenchent and
somewhat caustic criticism Of a re-
cent publication intended to pref
udice the public mind against the
law. We regret We have not space
for more than a few sentences from
the Standard Mr.. Croasdale says;
1t became apparent that Congress
must either exercise the power to
regulate Interstate Commerce, or
else acquiesce in the unauthorized
exercise Of that power by few rail
way magnates. 1t was the growing
perception of this fact by the people
that led to the passage of the law.
The powerful railway interest in
and about Congress had been per-
sistently used for many years to
prevent any intelligent legislation.
1t is probable that at the last session
the railway Congressman and lobby
lists saw that public opinion would
demand some such legislation and
hence they offered little opposition
to the pending bill after the corpor-
ation-ridden Senate had, as far as
possible, reduced it to a condition of
"innocuous desuetude". + : e The
Commission is composed of men gen.
orally conceded honest and capable
and unlikely to betray the public in
terest. Whether the commission will
regard the whole public rather than
that portion of it which calls itself
the business interests ofthe country
remains to be seen. In country
where a vast majority of the people
are engaged under difficulties in the
arduOus cuisines" of making a
living, it seems peculiarly absurd
to set apart a small fraction of the
whole number as the only business
men" having interests deserving of
the fostering care of the peoples rep

sao,o TO BEAUTIFY CHARLES
roN-.A TURNPIKE NEEDED.

RANDOLPH, April ia member
of the Legislature has informed me
that $40, 600 is to be at once expend-
ed in fixing up and identifying the
grounds about the capitol building
in Charleston. Ii your paper will
make this public so that people will
write their members to vote against
any such unnecessary expense at the
present time, it will be appreciated.
. I am aware that it is unpleasant TO
interfere with any project that takes
money out of the treasury. But there
is not person in this State who
does not think as / do, that is, our
authorities should not incur expense
to beautify those grounds, at least
not within the next two years. The
capital building affords all the &C
commodation necessary for the
transaction of public business, and
identifying can well wait. From all
l hear, money is as scarce in every
part of the State as it is here and
our people are in no humor to have
$4,000 spent at this time in bean.
tifying public square in Charles
ton. If l am not mistaken we have
already been taxed to the tune of
100000 and over on account of
the State capitol, in addition to
the rents we paid when the cap
ital was in Charleston before and
the rents we paid Wheeling. The
people of this State are not beauti-
flying the grounds about their homes
just at this time, and, by the same
token, we cannot afford to beautify
public square. Were / in the Leg
islature would cut this appropria-
ton down to barely sufficient to
build a plain, substantial fence to
enclose the grounds, and this ought
not to exceed 81 900. The balance of
the $4,000 / would apply to assist
in building good road from Web
ster Court house to Kanawha Falls.
A first-class road from Kanawha
Falls along by Nicholas c. II. and
Webster G. H.. to Mingo, in this
county, would, by increasing the
value of the land along it, pay for
its cost five times over inside Of ten
years, and considerable part Of
this road is already built.
A RANDOLPH COUNTY MAN.
(Another party mentioned this
matter TO us, and we intended to re-
fer TO it. There is already good
fence about the grounds. We think
the appropriation was about $4,000.

ELECTION OF SENATOR IN 1854.

Previous to the Federal law of
1866 the State Legislatures prescrib-
ed their own methods for electing
Senators. We have before US all
the proceedings touching the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hunter in 1852. The
entries in the Senate Journal are is
follows:
Page 80. Resolved. That the Sen
ate, the House concurring, will pro-
coed on the Goth, By joint vote with
the House, to the election of U. S.
Senator, to fill the vacancy which
will be occasioned by the expiration
of the term of R. NJ. 7. Hunter.

that the House was ready to proceed

advertised for thrce months before
the next election, and the Legislature
should provide some rule by which,
contracts shall be made for this al
vertising. The proper way, is to
grade the price according to the cir
culation of the different papers.
There are in this State about 100
papers. l find that they are grad
cd as below, and I have fixed the
very highest rate for II insertions,
of a column equal to 1000 words.

words these three amendments make
but i suppose all three of them will,
not exceed 500 words and, if such be
the case, the amounts ! name ought

LET THE GOVERNOR MAKE A
BARGAIN.
Communicated

(Our space is so limited that we
have been obliged to condense this
very valuable communication
Dem.
The scandal about the bills paid
newspapers for publishing the Con-
stitutional amendment proposed in
1879 ought not to be repeated.
The Legislature that submitted that
amendment neglected to limit the
cost of publishing it and the most
extravagant bills were presented by
newspapers. My recollection is, they
claimed in the neighborhood of $780,
600 for much less work than they
would gladly have done for private
parties for $4,000. The matter was
referred to committee who made a
milk and water report, and / could
never find out how much was finally
paid. The appropriation bill of 1881
appropriated 5000 ITO pay news
papers which published the amend-
ment, but where payments have here
tofore been made to paper the Gov
ernOr shall only pay so much as to-
gether with former payments will
amonnt to $780," At the extra ses-
sion of the same Legislature the
lobby succeeded in obtaining an adj
ditional appropriation, and the APP
preparation bill of March 18th, 1882,
has this paragraph: ITO pay news
papers which publish the amendment
$4,000, but the amount paid any pa
per shall not, including payments
already made to it. exceed $262.5O."
Here is$1l, $40 in addition to "for
mer payments" and it appears this
was divided equally between A pa
pers.
There are some propositions TOO
plain for argument. o. Advertis-
ing by the State is not to be treated
as bonanza for newspapers which
have not merit enough to support
themselves. (2) If members of the
Legislature or State officials desire
topurchase newspaper putting" they
should use their own money and not
our taxes. (3) The State ought not
to pay higher rates than a paper is
accustomed to receive from ordinary
private customers az The value of
advertising space depends upon the
circulation of a paper. A paper with
regular circulation of $500 can
obtain 5000 a year for column OF
a thousand words. If the circula-
tion is 1000 then the price is be-
tween SIS and 800. II the circula-
ton is under 500 the same space,is
not worth over $50.
am certainly within bounds when
/ say that for a circulation of $50.
$40 per 1000 words, for the first in
sertlon, and So for IL subsequently,
sertions is the very outside figure
that any merchant or private Gus
toner would pay. This would be
$55 for newspaper whose circula-
tion is 500 or under.

ELECTION OF SENATOR.

Some troublesome questions touch
ing the election of Senator will be
presented to the Legislature ut its
meeting next Wednesday. For ex-
ample, can the two Houses meet in
Joint assembly? Be it remembered,
the joint assembly is the creature
of an act of Congress passed inlS66
and, Independent of this law, the
Legislature can do nothing except
by separate action in each House.
But this joint assembly cannot
convene previous to the Wednesday
following the second Tuesday "after
the meeting and organization" of
the Legislature. Congress has pro-
vided:-a vote in each House shall
be taken on the second Tuesday af-
ter meeting and organization: Son
the following day the two Houses
shall meet in joint assembly" if on
the day previous person received
a majority in each House, he shall
be declared (by the joint assembly
elected; but if no such person re-
ceived a majority, the joint assem-
bly, shall take a ballot.
1t is perfectly evident, that if the
Legislature conducts its proceedings
under this act of Congress, legal
vote cannot be taken until the 10th
of May, and the question arises
whether the 10th of May is the day
following 1.-THE second Tuesday af
ter its meeting and ORGANIZATION"
This is second session of the same
Legislature that met and 'oRGAN-
lied" last January. The Senate
Journal for January II says: "On
motion of Mr.. woodward; Resolved,
That committee inform the Gov
ernor that the Legislature was
duly ORGANIZED. On next Wednes-
day, President Price and Speaker
Rowan will call their respective
Houses to order,a land the same clerks
will resume their duties. When the
presiding officer calls the House to
order he does not "organize" it.
"To organize the House, is done by the
appointment of officers and verification
of the powers of the several members"
-Webster's Die.
The officers are already appointed
and the organization is complete
with the exception of the verifcation
of the credentials of Delegate Beck
with. If Lucas had not resigned,
nothing appertaining to the organi-
cation could transpire. Can the
same Legislature Organize twice ?
With the exception of swearing in"
Mr.. Beckwith. the formality of the
meeting will not differ from any
thing that occurs every day during
